Magic Just Revealed 19 New Cards From 2027’s First Set — Including a $30 Reprint With Stunning Art

Wizards of the Coast revealed 19 cards from *Nauctis: The Sunken Realm* at MagicCon: Atlanta, offering a closer look at Magic: The Gathering’s new underwater setting. The set launches on 5 February 2027 and begins a new story arc after the conclusion of the Reality Fracture storyline.

Nauctis features aquatic creatures and rival kingdoms, with alternative evasive mechanics in place of flying. The set will also give Booster and Collector Booster packs a small chance of containing “God Packs” filled with ultra-rare cards. Revealed cards include Abyssal Lotus, a new Black Lotus-inspired card, and Salinae, the Ocean Mother, a whale god whose ability copies artifact and creature spells as 1/1 fish.
